Application filed December 2c, 1919. Serial No. 347,276.

To all whom. z'tmay concern v Be it known that 1, ROBERT F. Rnsarnssnn, a citizen of the United, States, and resident of Oshkosh, in the county ,of Winnebago and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lower-Stan chion-Securing Means, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which are a part of this specification.

The present invention relates to certain new and useful improvementsinstall appliances and refers more. particularly to a lower stanchion connecting member adapted to be set in the usual concrete curbing when the same is poured.

Y One object of this invention is to provide alower stanchion connecting member adapted to be set in the concrete curbing when the same I is poured, and which is capable of ready removal from the curbingafter the same has hardened.

A further object of this invention is to provide lower stanchion connecting member of the class described in which the stan chion is readily removably secured thereto by suitable link or other flexible means.

A still further object of this invention is a to provide a lower stanchion connecting member so constructed that the same may be placed in the mold form of a concrete curbing so that the curbing may be poured to secure the same firmly therein when it becomes hardened, and at the same time permit its ready detachment therefrom.

lVith the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, my invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts substantially as hereinafter described and more particularly defined by the ap pended claims, it being understood that such changes in the precise embodiment of the hereindisclosed invention may be made as come within the scope of the claims.

In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated one complete example of the physical embodiment of my invention, constructed according to the best mode I have so far devised for the practical application of the-principles thereof, and in which:

Figure l is a front view of the lower portion of a stanchion and a portion of a concrete curbing having my invention embodied therein, parts being broken away and in section to more clearly illustrate the details of construction. t

Figure? is a transverse sectional view through the lower stanchion connecting member. the said view being taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1. i

Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure l depicting a slightly modified manner of em ploying my lower stanchion connecting member in connection with a stanchion, and

Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view through the form of lower stanchion connecting member depicted in Figure 3, said view being taken on the line 54 i of Fig ure 3. p l v i Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawing, 5 designates a stanchion, 6 the stall concrete curbing,.and 7 a flexible chain connectingthe lower end of the stanchion to the curbing 5 as more clearly hereinafter described. I

The lower stanchion connecting member longitudinally extending mold form members, not shown, employed in constructing the curbing 6. The side portions 10 have also formed on their inner faces adjacent their lower ends a pair of inwardly projecting lugs or barbs 15 which bite into the side walls of the curbing 6 and with the rear wall of the recesses 11 assist in retaining the members 8 in position in the curbing 6.

The top surfaces of the members 8 are bifurcated or slotted as at 16, and each have depending therefrom near their side edges a pair of transverse ribs 17. The concrete when poured to form the curbing 6 surrounds the ribs 17, barbs 15 and the rear" each membe s is a lug'or ear 18 which is centrally a'pertured to receive a transverse bolt 19 which passes through one end of the chain 7, and in the form of my invention depicted i'n'Fi'gu i-es 1' and 2, I employ a pair of sleeves 20 for retaining the chain 7 centrally on the bolt 19.

In Figure 1, I have illustrated, two of my lower stanchion connecting member's emiployed, with, a single stanchion, and when two are employed, the sleeves 20 are used as ,hereinbefore described,but when one of my lower stanchion] connecting members is employed in connection with a stanchion, the sleeves 20 are preferablydispensed with.

IVhat I claim as my invention is:

stall appliancecomprising separate bracket members adapted to embrace a curb- 1115;, an upwardly pro ecting ear carried by each bracket member, and a transversely extending bolt eXtending through and conn'ecting the ears of the bracket members'and aid bracket members with a stall a pliance.

2. Astall appliance comprising a pair of complementary angular. bracket anembers having ribs. which extend downwardly 'into the stallcurbing, -means adjustably connecting. the bracket members and passing through the stall curbing to removablysecure said members thereto ,inwardly extendingfproj'ections. formed on the inner "faces of, the bracket ,inembe'rs for biting -into I the adjacent portions'of the curbing, and means a stall curbing, inwardly extending projections formed on the inner faces of the bracket member's for'biting into the adjacent portions of the curbing, an upwardly projecting ear formed on each bracket member, and a. transverse member connecting the ears of the bracket members and the bracket members with a stanchion.

I {1. A stall appliance'ofthe class described coniprising two complementary angular bracket members each having a 'sunkenrec'ess in their depending portion, a locking bolt passed through the depending portions of the bracket members centrally of the sunken recesses therein to secure the bracket members toa'stall curbing, the ends ot'the boltbeingidisposed within the sunken recesses, projections on the inner faces ot'tlie bracket members for biting into the adjacent portions of the curbing, upwardly extending ears 'formed onfthe top portions of the bracket members, a'bolt connecting the upwardly extending ears, and flexible means connecting said bolt witha'stanc'hion.

In testimony whereof, I afli x my signature.

ROBERT RAsMUss-EN.
